The food was great but the portions left some to be desired.<br \/>\nCloser to home, we went to <a href=\"\/food\/rest\/porkys.html\">Porky&#8217;s Pizza Palace<\/a> in Washington Manor, a place where you can eat and let your kids run around.  The pizza and pasta are OK too.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve visited a number of other restaurants, the reviews for which are still on the editing process (I&#8217;ll add the links to them as I get them back).  These include:<br \/>\n-The <a href=\"\/food\/rest\/eggshop.html\">Egg Shop<\/a> in Montclair, a great spot for a Father&#8217;s Day brunch<br \/>\n-Casa Madrid in Pleasanton, we didn&#8217;t like the tapas at this Spanish eater but got the best service we&#8217;ve ever had.<br \/>\n&#8211;<a href=\"\/food\/rest\/pelican.html\">Pasta Pelican<\/a> in Alameda, the bay view is a winner at this moderately-priced eatery.  The food is not bad either.<br \/>\n&#8211;<a href=\"\/food\/rest\/staceys.html\">Stacey&#8217;s<\/a>, a nice bistro in downtown Pleasanton had the best herbed butter but very slow serive.<br \/>\n-Village Bistro in Castro Valley offers traditional continental cuisine, comfort food for grown up palates.<br \/>\n-Sansar also in downtown Pleasanton has delicious Indian food, at Pleasanton prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just posted a review for Lotus Thai Cuisine, a small and very cute restaurant on Piedmont Ave. in Oakland, where Kathy and I had lunch earlier this month.
